Default Speedo and risers question

Hi guys !
I'm starting to get fed up of getting my eyes of the road while driving to check on my speed or anything.
It's becoming dangerous in town.

Is there someone with a FXBB that can give me width between the 2 risers screws ?
(those that go through the upper triple tree)

I just want to be sure that I can mount a FXBB handlebar clamp (with the speedo) on my Heritage.

Thanks buddies.

Ride safe.

Nice !

Can you make a closer photo of the mounting point on the fork ?
It may give me some idea to adapt the Road Warrior fairing on the Heritage/Deluxe ...

Thanks mate !

Be safe.

this is the advantage of slim. All you need to do is remove the bolts and you replace them with the memphis kit bushings. not unlike other models. They need a clamp

Hmmm ...
That could maybe fit.

If I'm not mistaken there is a spacer :
tappered head -> rubber mount -> spacer -> fork clamp

Do you have any possibility to measure the space between the rubber mount and the fork clamp ?

If I'm lucky enough, it will be the same as the headlamp nacelle and it should fit.

Thx man !

this particular mount model is MEB2049. If you go to memphis. Check your config and model and it will give you the right mount. Im telling you, i have the el paso fairing but this mount is not compatible. I need to buy a new mount for el paso which is $149 lol

None are said to be compatible with the Heritage/Deluxe. I already asked Memphis Shades and their answer is just ''we did not try so we don't know''

Now, it doesn't mean it won't fit. Maybe it won't, maybe it will, maybe it will require a little mod.
That is why I'm asking you this measurment :-)

Thank you mate.
